thanks Robert, I checked the fonts and discovered
differences between the two machines, but the necessary font is in place on
both. However, I now feel the problem may be to do with file
access permissions!
I discovered that if
I access the application using a head on the server (logged in as administrator
and accessed the application via a browser from Monitor), the JPEGs are created
correctly and the bold strings are visible after editing.
If I try the same access from the local network,
the failure occurs i.e. I do not see JPEGs with bold strings.
Monitor is running from "root" on the server, and I
wonder if it was running as "appserver" would this make any difference? I
had difficulties using "appserver" back in 5.2.2 days and hence have stayed with
root, but maybe this is wrong!
Puzzling! Any thoughts gratefully
received.

regular in deployment
Clive,
Have you checked the "Fonts" folders on the
server to make sure you have the "bold" variant of the font you are using
installed?
There are several "Fonts" folders if these are Mac OS X
machines:
/System/Library/Fonts
/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
It
is also possible for fonts to be installed in other folders in the system.
This typically happens when particular fonts are installed by specific
applications (Photoshop & Illustrator come to
mind):
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts

I have an application that
enables users to edit the strings in svg files, then to generate a JPEG from
the svg and display the jpeg. (I use the Batik libraries to create a
JPEG Transcoder.) Some of the svg strings use bold font, while others
are regular.
On
my development machine running Mac OS X (10.3.8) the JPEG shows the strings
correctly, showing bold as necessary and regular otherwise.
On
the deployment machine, Mac OS X Server(10.3.6), the JPEGs show all text as
regular, losing the bold!
has
anybody any similar experience, or any idea why the bold is being lost?
